I don't think it's impossible.
But there's nothing about our current physics.
I mean, it would be like taking somebody from the 1400s and saying, you know, describe to me what the interior of the sun is like.
They would have no knowledge structure to even attempt it.
That doesn't mean we didn't figure it out eventually.
And, you know, so like I said, there's nothing about that I think that's completely off limits, but we'll have to understand space and time very differently.
Right.
And we'll have to understand what... You can't even really call it matter or even energy.
All of the energy of the universe in a subatomic space, we have no idea what that would behave like.
And of course, of course, I have no answer to it.
I mean, you're asking the question that I hope someday humanity will have a chance to explore and we'll know more about.
Then I think what will happen is that once we can describe what happened before the Big Bang, there'll be a whole series of other questions.
Yeah.
I can't think of necessarily a better term.
I mean, you know the Big Bang was meant as actually a criticism, right?
It was Fred Hoyle.
When people first began back in the 1920s when they discovered the universe was expanding, and this was a big surprise.
I mean, famously, Albert Einstein didn't think that it was.
And then he saw the evidence that all of a sudden with our telescopes, we saw the universe is expanding in every direction.
It was actually Fred Hoyle that said at a conference, as a way of making fun of this, people were saying, well, maybe everything went back to sort of a common, denser structure.
